I have a Macbook (original 1.1) and it's in good condition. However, the mouse -selector- doesn't work. I can't click on anything. I've tried to reload the DVD and I still can't get it to work. Suggestions??

I have done the following:
1. Turned it on. Workes fine, screen comes up, programs appear to load normally.
2. Can drag the pointer on the glass touch pad, but cannot click at all. So cannot select ANYTHING. Not ANYTHING.  The only thing I can do is turn the power button off and on. 
Things I have tried:   Plugging an external mouse in.  Display response: does not recognize the keyboard, however the pointer does move with it.  However, still, cannot select or accomplish anything with Enter.
Please help! There definitily is a click when I touch the mouse button below the glass, but maybe it's the battery? I don't know. Please advise.  I have the set up discs but without being able to click select, I can't reinstall.

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

    The apple tech on the phone, went to my control,panel
    Went to my devices. Original iPad showed up,there In red and then he had me go,to apple website, download something and it said it could configure to my computer.
    Is,finally answer,to me was go to the apple care,one on one appointment, and it's my "software"
    A man I know told me "Apple at store, won't be able to do,anything for me"
    That's not very positive.
    What else? Can't I download iPad drivers,into my computer?

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
    Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
    Does that clear up the compatibility message?

  • I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

  • After updating my Mac mini gets to the login screen, but I can't click on anything.  The arrow is there and I can move it around, but doesnt allow me to click on anything

    I have a Logitech mouse and keyboard that worked fine before the update. Now I can't get past the login in screen, because I'm unable to click on anything.  I have the arrow and it moves around,but won't click on anything

    Try using the arrow keys to move around. Press enter to the account you want to go to. I don't know if you can access the password bar after this... it's all I know for now.

  • HT1933 I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!!

    I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone5c but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!! I'm not sure if it started after I updated my iOS cos I was able to update a few other apps. I just can't connect to neither apps store nor iTunes! I need help else I'd boil this phone alive!

    Hello IamJudekow,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to the App Store on your iPhone 5c.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
    First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    I really need this issue resolved it is driving me insane!!! How can the images appear perfectly fine on my laptop then when transferring over to a USB stick they just  corrupt!?

    Check out this site:

    That will show you how to format a USB stick for use on both PC and Mac.
    If the problem continues take it to an Apple store and have them check it out.

  • I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.

    I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.
    I wish I could share the two screen shots I took, but this question site doesn't have the option, so I guess I'll describe where Bing is showing up.
    In the left hand of my browser, just to the right of the back and forward arrows, there is speech bubble with a black eye ball or something. I found out it's Bing-related by clicking on it. There is no option to remove it with either left or right clicking on it.
    Also, in the right hand corner of my browser, at the very end of all my tabs, there is a white rectangular box with an orange "b" and a magnifying glass symbol. It will not respond to anything I try to do to it either, but if clicked it opens a new tab with a Bing search dialogue box.
    Finally, any new tab I open automatically opens to the Bing search dialogue box (versus Google).
    I need to get specific, step-by-step instructions for removing this Bing stuff from my computer. As I said, I have already gone through all steps outlined in the article I mentioned above as well as not been able to locate Bing in my control panel.
    Please help. I'm certain others are having this same issue. I use Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks.

    Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...

  • I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

    I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

    iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process.  25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
    To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
    Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

  • I accidentally unchecked "Tap to Click" on the Trackpad preferences and now I can't click on anything!

    I accidentally unchecked "Tap to Click" on the Trackpad preferences and now I can't click on anything!

    It happens to me ALL THE TIME. I'm getting pretty sick of this! It didn't start happening until maybe a month ago. I'm pretty fed up though!
    And NOW. This is great. Ever since installing iLife 09 my keyboard randomly stops working. Sometimes I can bring it back by closing the display and then opening it again.
    The crazy thing is that these issues are TOTALLY random. I've been on here for hours and nothing has gone wrong. Then out of no where...with no other applications run or doing ANYTHING I haven't been doing for hours...it all starts to go wrong. First it's tap-to-click in this pattern of working-not-working. Then it's the keyboard goes crazy.
    I'm doing a large backup of everything at the moment. Then I plan on running disk utility from the installer disks and see if that helps. If it doesn't I'm uninstalling iLife 09 to start with and after that i don't know what.
    I'm just REALLY tired of this!

    This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
    If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
    If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
    Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.

  • TS1702 My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

    My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library and shows up under Devices, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

    In order for this content to not appear grayed out, you need to enable the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.  Keep in minding that manually managing your iPod's contents is different from having content automatically sync to your device from iTunes.  See here for more information.
